Research indicates that social and climate policy are highly interdependent and should thus be perceived and practiced as a joint policy field to avoid conflictual outcomes and to enhance potential synergies. Such an integration of policy is highly relevant in urban planning.

Though the diffusion of electric vehicle (EV) is high on the global agenda, and there are efforts to speed up the shift: some countries intend to ban the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEV), and some OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) have announced the goal of electrification, the diffusion of EV is slowly. Technological innovation theory explains that we need to harmonise tec

Trots stora satsningar på system inom sjukvården så finns fortfarande problem, ett av dessa kan ses vara användarnas medverkan vid systemutvecklingen. Att användarna får medverka vid utveckling av system inom vården kan anses vara av stor vikt då utvecklare och ansvariga kan sakna viktig klinisk insikt.
